gestures for my hands

I've noticed that I can hold my hands in delicate positions, but they are usually random and at best like a ballet dancer. I think I am going to learn hasta kosha, Sub-Continent Indian hand gestures. Should be fun. I'm learning from a website called Kanakasabha. There is so much to learn! Certain positions of the leg or hands can signify different meanings. Even temple sculpture utilizes folk dance positions into their art. I love the interweaving of arts in India's timeless tradition.
